A host of big Premier League clubs are said to be interested in the 25-year-old forward

Asked if he is staying at Crystal Palace following their goalless draw with league leaders City, Zaha told BBC Sport: 'Yep, I am.'

Palace boss Roy Hodgson said last week he could not guarantee that Zaha would stay beyond the January transfer window but the manager has been assured by the owners and chairman Steve Parish that no deal would take place.

Zaha avoided a potential suspension on Monday after the FA decided not to take any action over the penalty he won against City at Selhurst Park.

Many observers felt Zaha had dived in winning the spot-kick after going to ground following contact with Raheem Sterling, but the governing body decided not to impose a charge of successfully deceiving a referee.
